Welcome to my therapy website

I am an experienced and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, and I work on an ongoing or a time-limited basis with individuals and couples. I have a successful practice in Highbury & Islington (North London, N5) for over 14 years during which I have seen clients from all walks of life having different occupations, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds. My practice is situated in an easily accessible residential area, with a quiet, comfortable space for us to resolve any issues you might be facing.

My approach: I see my work as building with you a deeper understanding of your situation, how you are affected by it, and how you might overcome the difficulties within it. For this, I provide a secure and trustworthy place for you to talk honestly about yourself without fear of judgement, freely express your feelings without holding back, and be deeply understood by someone who is mature, competent, experienced, genuine and impartial - someone who will not merely agree or disagree with you because of their own prejudices or vested interests. Quite often this is difficult to ask of partners, family members, colleagues, and friends. An experienced therapist will avoid the usual pitfalls of social discourse and commit to remaining unbiased and holding clear boundaries. It is also important that the work is allowed to progress at the pace that you set.

Letting go of illusions is the first step to be free from constant disillusionment with life. It is also the last step, perhaps the only step.

My principles of practice: Therapy works best in an atmosphere in which you can feel yourself being understood in a way that leads to a profound change in your own understanding of yourself. For this reason, I aim to hold the following principles of practice at all times:
